Two hiccups so far . At around 700 miles got AC warm air Fan speed low problem. Basically no AC in 91 degree weather totally sucked. After stopping for gas it came back on. Seems like others have posted similar problem with 2021+ F150s. And fix is new HVAC chip. Can’t do anything until get back home
Second problem is caught chip in windshield now getting it fixed . Sucks too but seems minor for now
Well, now that you've got your "first ding" out of the way you can relax. I'd rather glass than paint any day. God speed Sir.

the Blue Whale has made it home and i'd like to share some pics from the journey. Some of these pics John M will appreciate.
To start here's the route of the trip. 3300 miles. Interesting to see gas go from high $4s to a whopping $6.95 right outside Vegas before CA.

OUTSTANDING! What an Epic Adventure with the kids. Glad to se you went through Durango. Did you get a chance to run any of the trails there?
That color is very cool. Looks like the indigo blue from Mustangs past, Beautiful Raptor.
Thanks for sharing

Some fun in dry lake beds. I have Retrax Pro XR very surprising amount of dust that got in the bed. Thought the seals would be much better.

Yep stayed in Durango before headed up to Moab. Didn't know which trails to hit. But next trip definitely looking to find some trails. Waiting for seat covers so i can bring the dog.
